Wood‐inhabiting fungi can decompose lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose and play an integral role in the material cycle of forest ecosystems. In this study, we proposed a new species Scopuloides fimbriata , which was collected from Yunnan Province, southwest China. This new species is characterized by a smooth, white to buff hymenial surface and cylindrical, colorless, thin‐walled basidiospores measuring 4.5–6.3 × 2–3 µm. The...

The Ganodermataceae family comprises several genera, including Ganoderma , Amauroderma , and Sanguinoderma , which have been the focus of extensive scientific investigations. These genera are recognized in traditional medicine for their therapeutic properties in the treatment of bronchitis, hepatitis, diabetes, and cancer. In addition to their medicinal applications, they possess significant economic value and are incorporated...

Morchella species, economically significant edible fungi, are affected by numerous environmental factors; however, details concerning their ecological niche are poorly understood. Consequently, this study aims to fill this deficiency by applying a modeling approach to the fundamental niche of the Morchella genus, incorporating species from the elata and esculenta clades. In this work, we examined the distribution patterns of M...

A new basidiomycete, Clavulina mollis , is described based on morphological features and DNA sequence analyses. This fungus, collected in Yunnan Province, China, is characterized by its coralloid basidiomata growing in caespitose clusters, branching two to five times, polychotomous toward the apices and irregularly dichotomous to polychotomous at the base; a monomitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae; pale yellow,...

A new corticioid fungal species Gloeocystidiellum sinense from Yunnan Province, is described and illustrated based on morphological and molecular evidence. This species is characterised by its cream to pink‐buff hymenial surface, a monomitic hyphal system, and ellipsoid basidiospores measuring as 3.7–4.4 × 2.8–3.2 µm. The phylogenetic analyses inferred from ITS + nLSU dataset indicated that the new species G. sinense nested wi...

A new wood‐inhabiting fungal species, Punctulariopsis fissurata , is proposed based on morphological description and molecular verification. The species is characterised by the resupinate basidiomata with a pinkish buff salmon hymenial surface, a monomitic system with the generative hyphae bearing clamp connections and the presence of dendrohyphidia with broadly ellipsoid basidiospores measuring 13–15.5 × 8.5–11.5 µm. Phylogen...

Asterostroma roseoalbum sp. nov. was found in Yunnan Province, China, is described here as a new species based on its morphology and phylogeny. Asterostroma roseoalbum is characterised by its felted‐membranous to pellicular, fimbriate basidiomata with a smooth hymenophore and a dimitic hyphal system bearing generative hyphae with simple‐septate and echinulate, subglobose to globose basidiospores measuring as 8–9.5 × 7–9 µm. Ph...

The study aimed to uncover the molecular response of juvenile Sebastes schlegelii to air exposure stress by identifying differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that may underlie their anti-stress mechanisms. Juvenile Sebastes schlegelii were subjected to varying durations of air exposure stress. The total RNA was extracted from whole tissues and sequenced using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. The transcriptome data were anal...
